It doesn't matter if you are the bridesmaid or maid of honor, if you have to write a speech it can be really hard at times. That is why I now have gathered these 5 golden tips for you, so you can have it a lot easier when writing your wedding speech. These tips should give you a good idea about what to put in your wedding toast, to make the bride, groom and everybody else at the wedding happy.
Tip 1: The start of your toast
This is so important for your wedding toast; begin by introducing yourself. Make sure you tell everybody shortly who you are, and how you are related to the bride. Make an announcement like that, because truth be told; if you are at a big wedding, a lot of people might not know you, and they don't know how you are related to the bride. This is a good way to start.
Tip 2: Be careful with humor
Humor is a killer in every bridesmaid wedding speech; but be careful. It would be very bad to over-do this part of you speech, as you can easily embarrass or humiliate the bride, groom or maybe some guests. Also keep it sober for the kids, grandparents and other guests.
Tip 3: Focus on the groom
When the best man makes his toast, he will usually take some time off to compliment the bride. Make sure you do the same thing, to show that the bride have found a great husband, and to show that you really support the bride in her marriage.
Tip 4: Be the bride's spokeswomen
Now the most important job for you, as a bridesmaid, is to act and speak on behalf of the bride. If there are many guests at the wedding, they will not see the bride all the time, but they will see a lot of the bridesmaids, and that is why you need to act and speak on behalf of the bride. Make sure everybody knows how happy she is on her big wedding day.
Tip 5: Be a story-teller
Everybody loves good stories from the past. Make sure you find a good story about your past with the bride, groom and maybe other family members. Make it funny and cozy, so people with laugh but also be a bit moved. This is a killer-tip for your wedding toast.
